The next time you fly United from Hilo to LA, here's some info that's good to know.
If you get bumped, the maximum voucher they're allowed to offer is $10,000. On a recent flight from Dulles to Austin, the aircraft had a broken seat and when they couldn't find a volunteer to accept a voucher, they told a woman with the lowest paid fare she had to accept a voucher and stay behind. She told them no voucher, she wanted $2000 in cash, so they raised the offer to a $10,000 voucher. They wouldn't let her in the United lounge when she asked though. Guess they had to draw the line somewhere:
